This is exciting!! They're going to my home country, too bad I wasn't there when this was shooting. I was SUPPOSED to go last summer, but I'm going this summer. Budapest is amazing! I've never been to Visegrad though... I still remember the Hungarian legs from TAR6, those were some great times.

I have been following your forum with great interest, and wanted to say congratulations on your predictions on where the racers have been travelling to. From the forums I have read, I have found this one to be the best as your information (particularly from Slowhatch and Puddin) has been fantastic.

Welcome crafty_bunny and thanks for the kind words :yaya:. Banzai rocks too I hope the rumor for the next elimination that I read isn't true >> Ann & Diane.....and those that get to view the show on schedule are lucky, I need a TAR fix like right now !!

crafty_bunny, if you watch our ARA2 threads, one of them typically has links on Friday or latest Saturday to video of the latest episode. Very hepful RFF members are responsible for assisting the rest of us.

I did see the link for episode 9 late on Saturday. The person was having trouble uploading Part 1 and 4 onto Youtube due to 10 minute time restrictions, but they got there in the end. I will watch for the link again if torrent is late again.

Thanks for the spoiler. I use to go to sucks and read their thread, but found this one more accurate and reliable. And as a consequence I havent been back there much of late, so I did miss that spoiler by Roast Chicken.

I have no idea on who will be first or eliminated in upcoming episodes, but I picked the same Final 3 as posted in the spoiler found by Roast Chicken.

SPOILER

My guess is:

I think the Final 3 teams arrive in the following order:1. Paula/Natasha2. Marc/Rovilson3. Vanessa/Pamela

Reason: Because the 3 teams appear in the Racers Revealed Episode in that order.

END OF SPOILER

I know, stupid reason!! But it was a good excuse to test this hiding of spoilers thingy!!

Okay so it has started, and the race stars at the last pitstop. First to leave is M/R is to depart at 11:44PM

Teams must travel to Budapest... and have to go down the trainstation to get their next clue. M/R talk about everybody wanting to win and there is no excuse to that. a few minutes later, A/C depart. at 12:33, A/D depart to the train station. 4 minutes later, P/V depart.

There seems to be some bunching in the Train Station. A/C and M/R talk about their destinations. M/R talk about being tired already. A/C is first to depart on the train first. They used the internet to get tickets.

P/N depart at 5:05 PM.

More bunching!!!! P/N has caught up in the trainstation! Yes!

By 7:30, teams depart, hours behind A/C.

A/C is first in Budapest by that time.

A/D singing the waltz in the train.

A/C gets their first clue. Now, they have to go to Batthany Square to find their next clue.

M/R is frightened about A/C.

A/C arrive at the Square. Now teams must drive to Magyar Fram to find their next clue.

Train 2 arrives. Everyone rushes.Everyone seesthe clue. Everyone takes a taxi. P/N are first to get a cab. Next is A/D and M/R. Last to get a cab is P/V.

P/N seem to be second now. Third is M/R. Another manual car for Paula!!! HAHAHAHA!

A/D hasn't found the clue yet and are last since P/V has found the clue.

But they eventually do and are last. Paula is pressured by the manual car.

A/C lost! You can do it guys!

M/R and A/D asking for direction. P/V has persuaded a guy to lead a way to Magyar Farm.

P/V seems to have some issues with the car. P/N has arrived on the far. And they decide Pitch, same as A/C. A/C has done it. Roadblock! To Fun Extreme Canopy Flying Fox! The math equation here!!

A/D is next to the Magyar detour. They do the Pull.P/V has persuaded another guy to do persuade.M/R catching up. A/C lost... again! Go for first this time guys!A/D switch!A/C arrive at the Fun Extreme Canopy!P/N done with their detour!!But A/D is about to be finished!M/R arrive!P/N get their clue.

A/C has an incorrect answer (1039, the answer must be 1000)M/R done! P/V done too!P/V must put the milk in the holding Pen. They ask, what the hell is it?

M/R seem to be near. Where is P/N? A/C seem to be done with the roadblock. They have to go to Hercules Fountain to find the next clue. P/N seems to be lost too, but are quite close. They are now to do the roadblock. A/C arrive at the next clue. M/R is tring to lose A/D. P/N doing the roadblock! P/V lost?P/N answers 988. NO!!! A/D third to do the roadblock! M/R thinks 4th is pathetic. OMG! Big hit for M/R. M/R meet with P/N again. A/C get to the hercules fountain and are to go to the pitstop. Where is Anne? She seems to be behind? A/D fight! Hahahaha! A/C nearing the pitstop! I'm sure they are first!!!

BTW, I loled at what M/R do.

M/R are second! I'm still lolling! They are second but they are happy.

Now, who is third? P/V argue! A/D lost!

Where is P/N? No montages so far. P/V arrive at the Hercules Fountain. So does A/D!

P/V can't seem to run the car! yes, now P/N are on their way to Hercles Fountain!!! They arrive!

OMG! P/V still having a problem, but they fix it. P/N arrive at the wrong area so they have to find the marked area. Please, P/N arrive! P/V, don't pressure yourselves! They arrive at the marked area... Where is P/N?

We can connect the hay in the background now (from Yves' shots. I could never connect the "filmlab" in the photo to anything, maybe it's a portable setup. And Donkey Kingdom never panned out; a missing task, perhaps?).

I really don't get why theres so much ann/diane hate. and this is from an unbiased perspective. everyones rooting for them to go out, but if you base performance/placing of the 5 current teams, the tiers look like this imo:

-pinoy team-spore team-a/d-p/v, p/n

I think paula/natasha have a scrubby mindset compared to pam/nessa, yet it seems pple think good looks=automatic win...

That sounds really good to me. I can live without Paula and Natasha and also Ann and Diane. The 3 way finale you suggest would be a good one, probably the best that can happen if Pamela and Vanessa can get their act together.

I was confused by your statement starting "and the winner is". I am certain that you meant another team.

Yep I did. Thanks for the correction! I posted confusing spoilers since I was typing that during the race.

As for the top 3, I think we got a clue. After the show, some teams spoke their mind about their strategies in TARA. I remember Rovilson, Adrian, and Ann. I think I recall seeing Pamela, but I'm not sure. If not, could they be the final 3?
